Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Highlandville, MO.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Highlandville provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
